Just that really, wondering when you're going to share your good news?
I always wanted to wait until 12 weeks, but due the HG, I was forced to tell close friends and family at just 7 weeks as I had fallen off the face of the planet and people were worried. My rule was that I would only tell people who needed to know/people I would turn to for support anyway even if I had a mc (these mostly turned out to be the same people!). In some ways this was good, as I was sooooo ill, I was grateful for the support.
Funnily enough, now I've hit 12 weeks, I still don't feel comfortable announcing it too much. I've told a few more friends who I wanted to tell earlier but didn't as I'd already had to tell so many people. I've let it get around work, for practical reasons, as I've been off sick so much.
But there's still a number of friends and family members who I haven't told, even though I've had contact with them since 12 weeks. I also have no desire to put anything on FB yet. It's weird, I'm not sure why I'm holding back. I suppose because I'm still worried something will happen - but then, there's never a safe point in pregnancy.
I'm planning to have a 16 week scan, so maybe I'll open up more then.
So why did you tell? 12 weeks? Earlier? Later? Anyone glad it tegret their approach?
